OMB reverses Biden-era software attestation order

The White House on Friday rescinded a 2022 order that mandated a single, standardized self-attestation form for federal agencies to obtain cybersecurity assurances from software vendors, arguing the policy hindered agencies from adopting security solutions for their specific system needs. "There is no universal, one-size-fits-all method of achieving that result," Office of Management and Budget Director Russ Vought said in the memo released Friday. "Each agency should validate provider security utilizing secure development principles and based on a comprehensive risk assessment."
